The Peace Palace, which was funded by Scottish-American billionaire Andrew Carnegie, is the seat for the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands.
_____________________________________
The Hague originated in 1230, and is the third largest city in the Netherlands. While it is the country's official seat of government, it is not the capitol. After having hosted international peace conferences in 1899 and 1907, the Permanent Court of Arbitration was founded for the settlement of international disputes.
